This place is GREAT. The fish and chips here are awesome. Def come here over the pubs that advertise fish & chips . Warning that the portion sizes are humongous.

VOJTA MAREK.

Words can’t describe how much I love this place. The owner is just precious, the space feels nice and tidy, but most importantly… They have the best, the greatest and the most delicious fish & chips !

Wladimir Albuja

Wow! Good and fast service . American ambient and minimalist dinning area. Emphasis on the takeaway service. Big enough the small cod for me. It's worth for your first fish&chips experience.

Mark Hebblewhite

Some people can claim that this is the best chippy in Soho ; however, that is too smaller area: best chippy in the West End. Fish is fresh and prepared to order, staff and friendly , atmosphere is cool.

Gina

We all tried a different fish and they were all superbly fresh, light, and delicious! The portions are huge! Share one and a scoop of chips with a friend.

Karl Klobuznik

Place is clean , staff is quite friendly and fish and chips are great! Best place for a nice saturday dinner in Soho!

Pam Lin

Great fish and chip restaurant in Soho. Their pies are freshmade too.

Zooz

Delicious, tender, juicy, worth every penny. Portions are generous. Try the Haddock and their special Tartar sauce

Jeanette Mayland

Fabian Gataavizadeh

Very good fish ???? and of course kind staff and beautiful restaurant // loved it ❤️

Marta Pistis

I really love this place, with a vintage vibe atmosphere... Great fish & Chips , but I do love much also the fishpie!!!

New York Habitat

Fresh fish , great chips and tasty mushy peas ! You have to pay a little extra for the home-made tartar sauce , but it’s definitely worth it!

James Whatley

Now that the Berwick Street chip shop has gone, this is the last (and best) place in Soho for fish and chips !

Rebecca Ng

Get the large size as it is not much bigger than the small. Must get the homemade tartar sauce . Skip the gravy . Fish and chips weren't greasy. Very good!

Zach Stockwell

Split a large dish with a friend, more than enough food!

Ference

Excellent fish & chips , go large if you can handle it. Great and very friendly service brings back traditional values. Highly recommended!

Gina

Excellent fish , chips , tartar sauce and curry sauce ! And in huge portions ! Bring a friend.

Benjamin Ang

The fish bites had two fishes which was a great way to try for a pair of small eaters.

Marco Sousa

Not the cheapest but if you go for normal instead of large (its really large) then it's not so bad. Nice chips and mushy peas . Excellent fish .

JESSICA

Interesting fish choices other than the usual cod and haddock !

Abdullah

The Staff friendly and the fish have a lot oil.

Hugh Flouch

Cod an chips was delicious - fresh cooked, fresh fish , batter couldn't be lighter and crisper.

Kerry Brennan

Great Fish and chips especially when you need a pit stop from shopping . My fav is the homemade tartar sauce and chips .Great decor and smilie staff . Read more

Geoff J.

Hidden gem in central London for fish n chips . Go for the small portion, plenty of food for a growing boy!

JP Jones

Great service with a smile, reasonable fish , and poor chips . Quite expensive for what you get in the restaurant . Nowhere near the quality or value for money of Poppies Spittalfields

Tom Mansell

Eat in or take away , it's the best chippy in central London. Authentic chip shop atmos, good food and service.

Andreas

Big portions and good batter .

Bea Matti 

Awesome fish and chips place in Soho! Loved it!

Gaz Nicoll

Great battered halloumi as the veggie option

one64

Get the fish buttie with enough chips to feed a family for a fiver...

David Roberts

Didn't live up to the hype, I'm just not a fan of overly crispy chips . It's a bit overpriced for what it is, worse the service wasn't great, took an age to order though quiet and not well attended to.

Martin Posta

Good fish and chips , I guess overtrendy. Nice staff

Batuhan Akyalcin

Very delicious... Thanks.. Best fish and chips

Karl Klobuznik

All different kinds of Fish and Chips ...

Kevin McCulley

Great post-pub chips . Try the curry sauce !

Luís Matos

Chips are great but the size of the portions is not aligned with the price.Pay attention to your bill!

Real delicious fish&chip restaurant

Truffle Social

The best chippy in Soho , friendly staff and creative video campaign featuring Becks #BeckhamForGU Ow.ly/9aD2K

Katie Poole

Fish butty and chip take away for only £3.95? Yes please!

Ying-Vi Phung

Decent fish and chip restaurant but no way is it the best by any means. The rock was tiny and the chips was tasteless as was the 'famous' tartare sauce . Seafish in Islington upper st is much better!

Arnis Marcinkevics

Great fish and chips + homemade tartar sauce !

Steven Wise

Fantastic Fish and Chips . Don't forget the mushy peas and pickled onions . Wash it down with one of their nice cool beers Read more

Ed L

Nice chunky vegetarian pie containing veggie sausages . Good battered halloumi for vegetarians who want to get closer to the fish and chips experience. Great homemade mushy peas .

Giacomo Mason

Hearty, sincere British diner food in Soho

Melisa Ünal

Fish and chips mükemmel

Darren White

I don't know if it's just me, however this place did not live up to it's reputation. Fish and Chips were ok.. but not anything different to what you would get from a Chippy in the outskirts of London.

Xander Gyr

Kept waiting in a queue even though tables were empty in the room. Service charge added to bill. A bit pricey when all the little sides get added.

Ouriel Attal

Watch out the Blatter and fries are made with pork
